[QUOTE="DDD, post: 442376, member: 35"] Asperger's is such a tricky diagnosis. There is no "cure" but there are ways to help. It takes alot of patience and preferably a calm demeanor and a calm home and limited outside stimulation. We found that a medication to aid sleep helped difficult child be better prepared for the next day. One of the smartest things I ever figured out, lol, was to take his morning medicine into him when he was still assleep. The pill, a drink, and sometimes a small snack next to his bed did wonders. I had to get up thirty minutes earlier but when it was time to get up his medication was in his system and he rarely gave me any flack. Also for us it really improved mornings when we established a routine for bedtime that included getting his shower and laying out the clothes he wanted to wear the next day. That made a HUGE improvement in the mornings. I have had limited experience with allergies and agree that dietary issues should be explored. I'm embarrassed to say that twenty years ago I did not know that secondary smoke could cause so many allergic reactions. We did not smoke in the house or the car except on rare occasions [B]but [/B]easy child/difficult child did have frequent ear infections etc. that turned out to be a reaction to secondary smoke. I still can't believe that it never occurred to me! Good luck. DDD [/QUOTE]
